Reflexology for Weight Control

The objective of the reflexology for weight control are:

• Energize the endocrine glands. This will promote balanced hormone secretion and appropriate appetite.
• Tone the entire digestive system. You will gain maximum benefit from the food you eat.

We also recommend that you do the reflexology workouts for Stress and Anxiety for complimentary effect.

1. After the Reflexology Warm-Up work on key endocrine glands, including the pituitary (in the center of the bottom of the big toe), the thyroid (at the base of the big toe), and the adrenals (between the waistline and the diaphragm line, toward the inside of the foot). Working these reflexes will help create balance in the body and nervous system and help you get a grip on your appetite and eating.

2. Use your thumb walk to work across the entire area in the arch of your foot, from the midline (waistline) up to the diaphragm line. The stomach reflex is on the left foot, the liver primarily on the right. Work both feet and thoroughly cover this area, moving up, down, and/or diagonally. You'll stimulate the pancreas, gallbladder, kidneys, and adrenals also.

3. Moving lower, below the waistline, you'll encounter the reflex areas for the colon. Points for various aspects of the colon are divided between the two feet. Work up, down, across, and diagonally in this area with the thumb walk.
